Hold onto your seats, gossip lovers, because Nigeria’s biggest music icon, Davido, just dropped a bombshell that’s got the nation buzzing! The Afrobeats superstar, known for his chart-topping hits and larger-than-life persona, has thrown his weight behind the #FreeVDM movement, calling for the release of his friend, Martins Vincent Otse, aka VeryDarkMan (VDM). If you thought this drama couldn’t get any juicier, buckle up, this story’s got heart, heat, and a whole lot of Nigerian spirit!
On May 4, 2025, Davido took to X with a post that set social media ablaze: “Outside all the noise it’s good to see that the good one does actually impacts lives and Pple actually appreciate! The support I’m seeing for VDM everywhere is encouraging.. makes one want to do more for the masses ❤️ FREE MY GUY”. In one fell swoop, the “OBO” himself joined over 100 million Nigerians rallying for VDM, who was arrested by the Nigerian Police at GTB headquarters in Abuja on May 2, 2025, after criticizing the bank over unauthorized transactions. Talk about a plot twist!
VDM’s arrest has been nothing short of controversial. His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, slammed the detention as “absolutely unacceptable,” arguing that demanding accountability is a fundamental right. Sources claim the social crusader was nabbed after speaking to police at GTB on an unrelated matter, with no lawful grounds presented for his arrest. Nigerians aren’t having it, X is flooded with #FreeVDM posts, and Davido’s heartfelt plea has only fanned the flames. One fan gushed, “Davido has a good heart, he is selfless …. Vdm will be out soon, we are working on it”. Another wrote, “The support I’m seeing for VDM everywhere is encouraging.. makes one want to do more for the masses ❤️ FREE MY GUY”. The love is real!
But what’s got everyone so riled up? VDM, the fearless commentator who’s never shied away from calling out injustice, has become a folk hero for many. From exposing shady dealings to sparking national conversations, he’s the voice of the people and now, the people are screaming back. Davido’s support isn’t just a celebrity endorsement; it’s a signal that VDM’s fight resonates with the masses, from the streets of Nigeria to the global stage. “It’s amazing how much your good deeds have impacted the public. VDM’s support is proof of that,” one X user wrote, tagging Davido.
As the drama unfolds, questions swirl: Will VDM walk free? Is Davido’s star power enough to sway the authorities? One thing’s for sure, this story’s got Nigeria glued to their screens, and we’re here for every second of it. Stay tuned, gossip fam, because this tea is piping hot, and we’re spilling it all!
